The Pleated Roman Look
This Roman surplice for altar servers hangs from a flat square yoke in deep, pressed pleats, with long, wide sleeves that reach close to the wrist. Our photo pairs it with a red cassock, whose stand collar sits inside the square neckline.
Fabric
Made of white poly cotton, it holds a crisp pleat and keeps its white through regular use.
How It Differs from a Gathered Surplice
A gathered surplice is fuller and softer, usually with shorter sleeves. This pleated style is flatter and more tailored, with sleeves long enough to cover most of the cassock sleeve.
Lengths
Child sizes 6 to 18 run from 14 to 26 inches long; adult sizes run Small 28, Medium 31, Large 33, X-Large 35 and XX-Large 37 inches. To choose, run a tape from the highest point of the shoulder down to where the surplice should finish over the cassock.
Price
Child sizes 6 to 18 cost $59.99. Adult sizes Small to XX-Large cost $69.99.

Roman Surplice FAQs
What makes a surplice “Roman”?
The term usually means the flat square yoke, pleats and longer sleeves seen here, rather than a fuller gathered surplice.
Should the surplice cover the cassock sleeves?
Mostly. These long sleeves reach close to the wrist, so only a little of the cassock sleeve shows.
How do I pick the right length?
Measure from the top of the shoulder to where you want the hem. Child sizes run 14 to 26 inches and adult sizes 28 to 37 inches.
What fabric is the surplice?
White poly cotton.
How much is the Roman surplice?
Child sizes are $59.99 and adult sizes are $69.99.

Only giving 3 stars because the shoulders look frilly, making it seem like I have shoulder pads.
My 5’7” son wore this in church and found it comfortable.
